me personally i would buy one of ours on the site because there driven and i know there is a service record on the powertrain and the improvements that has been over looked. sorry i wouldent pay that much for a car with 6 miles for that unless it was a corvett but i wouldent be caught dead in one but i would be found in a monte well before a vett. but 50k for a tony stewert come on man. sitll would buy one from one of us on the site than his dont really know whats really wrong with it.

I can only guess that the key bezel is like from lack of starting the reson i say that the lack of starting the oil from your hand not rubbing on it and also the lack of cleaning . Or what ever they used to clean the dash reacted withthe rubber and turned it . Had a chance to buy a 07 SS for $17.000 a dollar a mile it was a v8 loaded never driven in the rain or winter it was mint so I would guess maybe $20.000 at best

Awesome looking Monte.. Crazy how rusted out the front exhaust manifold is for only 9 miles? But I would assume they started it up on a regular basis so it makes a little more sense. The intake tubing looks very faded too. Maybe the ignition bezel and tubing are suffering from the same symptoms. Whether it be the cleaner that was used or lack of use, or something else..

Good find, a shame that it is so expensive. There's always someone out there that will overpay for a collector's item such as this. Overpay by $25-30k? Probably not, but I bet if someone really wanted it, they'd go $35k or so.. Not me though, I'd dump that money into my own Monte before I ever spent it on a different one

That is exactly what I mean when I say that some car lots think they have gold when they get one of the special edition Montes.

The rubber piece around the ignition looks like normal weathering to me.

They might get 40,000 for it...if they part it out. I'll give them a good price for the bezel around the IP and radio.
